[Situation: Sarah D., a stroke survivor, talks about her life after suffering a stroke and her financial situation]
[Text on screen: Sarah D.]
Well, six years ago now I had a stroke.

I just so happened to go out for a coffee and went down to the ground. I was fortunate enough to be with a lovely man who happens to be my husband now. We were on our first date.

If anyone had told me, guess what?

You'll go on a first date, you'll have a stroke and you'll live happily ever after,

I would have never believed anyone who said that.
Before the stroke, my full-time income was paying off my education,

so I never had anything to stress about at all.
[Text on screen: We believe financial health and physical well-being are invaluable. And closely linked]
After the stroke, I couldn't work for a while, almost about a year.

I then had to go get a loan. I had no other options. I decided I was going to start my own kids' yoga business, but it's very difficult.

I found a couple other jobs, but I ended up getting sick. When you begin to make decisions based on your finances alone, your health begins to slip, so it's very important to think about health and money being hand in hand.

Obvious number one positive thing that came from it was my husband. I had this inkling that I was going to fall in love with him before the stroke, before anything at all.

If I didn't have him, I have no idea how we would be surviving as we are. I feel incredibly lucky to be on this end of things.
[Text on screen: Talking about the link between financial health and physical well-being is the first step in protecting both.]
